Contest: Electric Guest

Modern Vinyl is proud to team up with LA-based Electric Guest to give away a copy of the group’s newest album, entitled “Mondo,” on vinyl. The album, produced by Danger Mouse, features Asa Taccone and drummer Matthew Compton. Early reviews of “Mondo” have been resoundingly positive: Filter Magazine calls them “infectious,” The Los Angeles Times praises Asa Taccone’s “romantic falsetto” and Blackbook raves “it’s rare that you come across an unknown band with such raw, unbridled talent and well-constructed songs… you’ll understand that this may be the beginning of something truly great.”

To enter, you first have to follow both Modern Vinyl and Electric Guest on Twitter. Then, to complete your entry, you must send out the following tweet: “Win a vinyl copy of #Mondo by @ElectricGuest, over @ModernVinyl, modern-vinyl.com/?p=9340″.

Good luck! The contest runs until Sunday, ending at midnight (eastern time). The winner will be selected at random.

Update 5/14/12: The Contest is now over. The winner is @shutterspeeds.
